As 2020 comes to an end and 2021 rolls in, I can't help but reflect on the role music has had in my year. Music has been one of the saving graces of 2020. Not only have we gotten some major chart-topping bops from our favorite pop stars, but we've also gotten to delve into the lives of all artists who have had to deal with everything this year has had to offer. Fortunately for you, I have compiled my Top 20 song from 2020 to share with you. These songs have shaped my year one way or another. Below you will find my Top 20 in no particular order; under some of those songs, you might find why that particular song made it on my list! After you go through my Top 20, please find me on social media (@mxsonarita) and share with me what you think of my selection! Tell me, what was your Top 20?
"They are mad cause they know that I'm winning" this line alone is why this song made it to my Top 20. Regina del Carmen's entire "29" album is ear candy, and I can not stop listening!
Destino and Tyler Ashton - Close
"Put your body next to mine,"! When this song came out, I was 100 percent crush-less, but it definetely made me wish I had someone to crush on. This song was in a couple of my late night playlists.
Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande - Rain On Me
"Rain On Me, Tsunami" - It's a bop.
"Alright, let's check my co-star app..." This song is honestly the biggest mood, especially in 2020. I was glued to my co-star app probably just as much as I was attached to Toño's music.
Ms. Boogie and Trannilish - Fem Queen
"Come swim in it like the big fish" - you need to watch this video. You need to listen to Ms. Boogie and Trannilish; that's it. This song, along with other songs by and ft. Ms. Boogie have taken over my 2020 playlist.
Sailorfag - Inventadas Y Modernas
"Tarde dos pinches horas en mi puto maquillaje." Even though this song was released in 2018, it made my 2020 Top 20 because I've been listening to it non-stop.
"What doesn't end up in my favor is not meant for me."
"I self sabotage. I self sabotage. I self-sabotage every little thing..." Need I say more?
"You never say never, but you never say when." Honestly, if I listened to music on Spotify, my "year in review" would have probably put me in Trixie's .0000000001 percent of listeners.
Mykki Blanco and Devendra Banhart - You Will Find It
If I could quote this entire song on her, I would. Just listen to it. If I could describe how this song makes me feel, I would say that it makes me want to take a road trip through space.
This song had me dancing around in my room every night, pretending to be at the club.
The music video to this song was released so close to my birthday; it was my summer bop since then. The music! The Visuals! I fell in love the first time I heard this song.
Shea Diamond is probably one of my favorite musicians of all time. This song has a special place in my heart. I could listen to this song alone for hours as a playlist.
I honestly don't think I can listen to mariachi music the same after listening to Flor de Toloache. They are a mind-blowing all-female mariachi band from New York.
"After the smoke clears, we still march." This song and video are perfect. Perfect in almost every sense of the word.
Sydney Gorgeous and Keagan - 1 Time
Bop. I listened to this song on Christmas Eve, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were my most listened to song this year...
Cardi B and Megan The Stallion - WAP
"I wanna gag. I wanna choke" Do I really need to explain WHY this made it to my Top 20. If you're wondering why, I might be asking you, why not?
"It's something 'bout boys!" This song. Ufffff... It was all I listened to in April. I can't even describe my feeling in words.
"I'mma be okay." This song and video gave me some major nastalgia. To what? I don't know, but let me delve straight into it.
Peppermint - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?
I am not joking when I say this music video was released as I was finishing writing all of this up. I heard it and it had to go on my list. I love Peppermint's music, and I am so excited to end the year ecstatic to hear more of her music in 2021.
Happy New Year everyone! Here's to more music in 2021! <3

Frankie's Rediscovery: Paulo Nutini- Radio
Ok I'm obsessed again, or should I say RE obsessed?! April has been a cruel mistress writing wise which means my lyric writing and poetry has dwindled somewhat, however do not fear I'm working on something so normal service will resume again soon. In the mean time are you ready for me to introduce you to an awesome tune again?....of course you are! This time in the form of Radio by Paulo Nutini

Final Call
She flings her arms around my neck and squeezes me like she’s never going to let me go. My head spins as her lips brush against my cheek. She must be able to feel my heart thumping in my chest. I shuffle backwards and ram my hands into my coat pockets, watching her reach down and heave the rucksack across her shoulders.
